She is particularly looking forward to her debut performances in Mongolia and South Korea, and excited about returning to Singapore, China, the Philippines, Indonesia and Australia. Highlights of her 2012-2013 performance calendar include appearances at St. Martin-in-the-Fields in London, recitals at Yale and Richmond Universities, the Kosciuszko Foundation, the Polish Consulate, and the Smith Center in Las Vegas, and performances at festivals in Poland, Germany and Australia.</p> <p>Anna's forthcoming concerti performances include LutosBawski's piano concerto, Bartok's Piano Concerto No. 3 and Stravinsky's Concerto for Piano and Winds. She will also appear with violinist Sharon Roffman for a number of engagements on the east coast of the USA, performing music by Szymanowski, LutosBawski, Górecki and Franck.</p> <p>Once again residing on the east coast, Anna is a member of the piano faculty at the College of William and Mary, as well as the faculty of Richmond University during the Spring 2012 semester.</p> <p>2011 was a busy year, featuring a three-month long tour across Asia, Australia and New Zealand. The opening recitals in Jakarta and Singapore were devoted to the music of Liszt, the 2011 Rome Prize Winner <a href="http://www.lei-liang.com/">Lei Liang</a>, Chopin and Bacewicz. "Liszt and Chopin on the Lake" at the Singaporian Botanical Gardens was especially memorable thanks to the sizeable audience of over 2000 people and the climate - Anna had to put her Bikram Yoga experience to work while playing Liszt's Sonata in B Minor in weather with 90% humidity! It was quite a memorable performance. After Singapore, she moved on to New Zealand, giving a number of concerts in Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Hamilton and Christchurch. While there, she collaborated with soprano Olga Gryniewicz and flutist Adriana Lis on the premiere of "Polish Dances" by New Zealander Anthony Richie. Continuing on to Australia, Anna presented a recital in Sydney and Melbourne entitled "Drive Blues," dedicated to contemporary music from around the world.</p> <p>During 2011, Anna taught Master Classes at the Jakarta Conservatory, LaSalle College of the Arts, New Zealand School of Music, Victoria University of Wellington, University of Waikato, University of Otago in New Zealand and St. Thomas University in Manila. She was also invited to present a lecture-recital during the 5th Singapore Piano Pedagogy Symposium at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, National University of Singapore.</p> <a href="news2.html">Read the news archives.</a> </div> </td> <td width="361" valign="top"><img src="images/anna_pic.gif" width="359" height="327"><br /> <script type="text/javascript"> /*********************************************** * Fading Scroller- © Dynamic Drive DHTML code library (www.dynamicdrive.com) * This notice MUST stay intact for legal use * Visit Dynamic Drive at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code ***********************************************/ var delay = 5000; //set delay between message change (in miliseconds) var maxsteps=30; // number of steps to take to change from start color to endcolor var stepdelay=40; // time in miliseconds of a single step //**Note: maxsteps*stepdelay will be total time in miliseconds of fading effect var startcolor= new Array(255,255,255); // start color (red, green, blue) var endcolor=new Array(0,0,0); // end color (red, green, blue) var fcontent=new Array(); begintag='<div style="font: normal 11px Arial; padding: 5px;">'; //set opening tag, such as font declarations fcontent[0]='<b><i>"An excellent young Polish pianist"</i></b><br />Bernard Holland, <i>The New York Times</i>, March 24, 2007'; fcontent[1]='<b><i>"Kijanowska is a pianist I look forward to hearing again—and again."</i></b><br />Adrian Corleonis, <i>Fanfare Magazine</i>, April 2007'; fcontent[2]='<b><i>"Kijanowska\'s performances are amazingly virtuosic, astonishingly charismatic, astoundingly empathic, and completely compelling."</i></b><br />James Leonard, <i>All Music Guide</i>, 2006'; fcontent[3]='<b><i>"Kijanowska\'s performances are a revelation"</i></b><br />Phil Muse, <i>Classik Reviews</i>, January 2006'; fcontent[4]='<b><i>"Kijanowska can play with notable vitality or with abundant subtlety and nuance, or anything between."</i></b><br /><i>Stereophile</i>, March 2007'; fcontent[5]='<b><i>"Truly excellent pianist"</i></b><br />Arthur Leaonart, <i>Leonard Link</i>, April 2007 '; fcontent[6]='<b><i>"Gra Kijanowskiej wolna jest od, ciazacej nad polskimi odczytaniami, romantycznej egzaltacji, (…) Intuicyjny zywiol i chirurgiczna precyzja."</i></b><br />Michal Mendyk, <i>Telewizja interaktywna</i>, Warsaw, Poland'; fcontent[7]='<b><i>"Beautifully played" (about Mazurkas by Szymanowski)"</i></b><br />Byron Janis, pianist 2006'; fcontent[8]='<b><i>"Anna is one of the very finest musicians I have met (…)"</i></b><br />Nils Vigelnad, composer'; fcontent[9]='<b><i>"Without a doubt, Anna belongs to the most brilliant pianists of her generation.
